Great to meet you!

I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and earned my Master's in Social Work at University of Pittsburgh. I have had experience with many different groups and individuals: Families, divorce, co-parenting, self- injury, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality, and others. I have completed 20 years addressing Mental Health and Behavioral Treatment needs, giving me much experience. Just know when there is a question, and I do not have an answer. I will work very hard to obtain an answer to your inquiry! Thank you for taking a peek! I hope to hear from you soon.I am a mom of two children and one of 5 keepers of the zoo we call home. Dogs, guinea pigs, and reptiles oh my!

My approach to therapy

I use several therapeutic modalities including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

What you can expect from me

Our first session we will complete your Intake Assessment. In doing so we will verify your demographic information and learn some background information including your concerns. This really does provide an awesome way to start the important conversations.
